Reiki Attunement to level 1

Question

Please could you give me your own experiences on becoming attuned and if you felt ill afterwards or if you had any strange experiences as i have heard so many stories. I have been told that i have natural healing abilities and i sometimes feel it and so can other people and i can also feel other peoples pain (weird as it sounds) but i dont understand if this is Reiki or Spiritual healing? I am very sensitive and i am worried if i got attuned to Reiki 1 then i would start having more paranormal experiences?.

Answer 1

I began working with Reiki as a treatment for migraine headaches. No medications or other treatments I had tried were effective.

For three days after my level 1 attunements, I had the most painful and debilitating migraine headache I have ever experienced.

It was made clear in the training that it was a possibility that heath problems might intensify after receiving the attunements or after receiving a treatment.

This is an often heard of concept in the Reiki community. Some call it a healing crisis or a 21 day cleansing period - when the Reiki energy encourages emotional and physical release of energy blockages.

Answer 2

I did not become sick after any of my attunements.  With practice you can become more intuitive, but I wouldn't really say that's paranormal.  Sure you can see and feel things in regards to the recipient, but these things help you be a better healer in the long run.  It's not scary at all.

Answer 3

I have done reiki 1, and i was quite ill afterwards for a couple of days, but it is so useful to have. We all have natural healing abilities, its just if you are open to them and it sounds like you are! Its a lovely gift to have, so anything you can do to enhance it, go for it!! good luck hun x

Answer 4

I felt ok after the attunement, couple of dizzy spells the same night but that's it

As for other effects, in my experience the Reiki attunement really accelerates your development, and you have to get on with the program and really look at some of the issues you have, or they are magnified

To use Reiki an attunement is necessary, so I think you have a natural ability as you say, not Reiki

Also you are probably empathic, since you feel other's pain, it could be a number of things, among which a weakness in the protective energy that can be helped with different exercises

some boundaries are needed in energy work of course, and that includes not getting too involved

I don't know whether you will have more paranormal experiences, it's possible, but Reiki energy itself gives a degree of shielding as well
